Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Computers and Peripherals : USB Scanner for Windows 2003?

[AvailNetworks]

I feel like a tool because for some reason I am having a really hard time locating a scanner that is compatible with windows 2003. I do not need anything fancy as long as it is usb and flatbed, just for scanning your occasional document. If it is legal size as well then that will be a large bonus

Anybody have any recommendations?

You're more than likely going to have to try the XP driver and hope for the best. I doubt many scanner makers are going to waste time and money to develop drivers for Server2003 when the overwhelming majority of users hook scanners up to desktop machines running XP.

Brother MFC-210C, all in one but for a flatscanner price. Good deal.

thanks for the tip! I will definately check it out, and that is quite dirt cheap. That is basically what I am looking for. I rarely ever scan anything but it would be silly to keep my old scanner (visioneer 7100usb) and have to boot back into xp just to scan 1 thing
